  We enjoyed our stay particularly the children.

  The bungalow was in the perfect position for us as we wanted to explore along the coast but didn't want to be near the noisier resorts. Fairbourne was perfect for the small railway train and ferry to Barmouth and for the quiet walks along the beach with the dog. Be careful of the jellyfish though. The shop was very busy in high season but good for bits and bobs. We went to the Co-op behind the Fair in Barmouth for bigger things for breakfasts and so on. Unless you can do your shop in half an hour you will have to pay for your parking as again- very busy. Busy is what makes the atmosphere though. The Fair , the ferry , the railway, the quirky shops ,the smell of hot doughnuts together with the sea , sand and cloudless skies beats any resort abroad. Yet, it was nice to come back to the bungalow for quiet time and to relax in the evening. Fairbourne also had a takeaway which made the best pizzas in the world with decent chips and nicely cooked burgers which we had everynight because I was on holiday too and didn't want to cook ! The bungalow had a TV in each room and a fairly powerful shower. Lots of hangers for your clothes too and although I didn't use the kitchen much - it was really well equipped . It was nice to eat our takeaways from decent crockery . The glasses were good sizes too. The water from the tap tasted like mineral water which was refreshing as our water at home tastes like dirty sock water ! The kids loved the ponies that appeared in the small field at the foot of the garden and the rabbit which liked to nestle under the long grasses. It was quiet there in the garden which was lovely . We don't make noise and we don't like noise so it was a perfect place to stay. If you can't persuade your kids to leave their tech at home then the Wi-Fi is really good. The little train station , pebble beach and little shops are only about 5 minutes walk from the bungalow. We felt safe there too. People were friendly in the shops especially the takeaway. We would definitely return. The owner left us a bottle of nice wine for our arrival which was very thoughtful and treats for our little black whippet making her feel welcome too ! She wolfed them down no problem. I really hope Fairbourne keeps its charm and resists any developers committing the usual acts of legal vandalism. Thanks for a great stay.

  Dehangfa is a truly spacious, light and airy, lovely bungalow.

  The property was immaculately clean (we all felt completely safe in these covid times), The beds were all comfortable with lovely furnishings. Ideal for families of multi generations. The kitchen is really well equipped (and I speak from over 40 years experience of self catering holidays), for those not wishing to eat out. The separate dining room is ideal for catching up with the day's events over a lovingly prepared family meal. There are fantastic views of the mountains from the garden and the patio area is a sun trap in the mornings. Peace and tranquility reign here. The only downside for us was that, as we went when the beach dog ban was in force, we found it nearly impossible to get onto the beach due to the high banks of cobbles. There is however a nice walk along the prom right up to Penrhyn Point. As Paddy, our Red and White Irish Setter, is getting on a bit nowadays, we used to drive up to the small car park there where there are splendid views of the mountains and across to Barmouth. You can have a leisurely walk around the area or even a picnic. Fortunately for us, we soon discovered that Tywyn (only a beautiful 20 min drive down the coast) has a wonderful sandy beach which is easily accessible from the car parks along the prom. Best to go when the tide is out, then you get miles of golden sand. Result - 1 happy dog and 2 delighted owners! The owner of the property was very helpful, friendly and was on hand should any problems arise. This property is one of the very best that we have been fortunate enough to have booked during our many years of self catering holidays.

  The cottage is absolutely lovely. We are fussy and we would most definitely return. Full of character and charm. Everything you need is there including all of the basic kitchen equipment. Do look in all of the kitchen cupboards and drawers upon arrival. There are pan scrubbers, washing up liquid, washing tablets and dishwasher tablets tea towels, oven mits and pegs etc (saves packing space). The location is quiet and peaceful. The beach is a straight walk through the caravan site and it is flat. The walk took us ten minutes and we think half a mile. The beach is dog friendly. The owners are helpful and approachable - I have some issues that require me to make contact before arrival and they were extremely accommodating. Onsite restaurant allows dogs out on the balcony which has a roof and heaters. If you are over 6 foot tall and have looked at the photos dont worry about the bedroom ceilings. There is only one beam at the top of the stars that you may have to duck just a little. Both bedrooms would be fine if you slept on the right side of the bed. My husband had no issues. We would highly recommend the cottage and the location, which is about 3/12 miles from Barmouth and 7 from Harlech.

  We have been holidaying in North Wales for many years and can honestly say that Dehangfa is the best home we have ever stayed in.

  The bungalow is located two turnings off Beach Road, close to shops, eateries and the coastline, and nestled peacefully against the backdrop of the surrounding mountains. There is a driveway for off-road parking. The bungalow is spacious and beautifully decorated/furnished - the large living room and patio doors contribute to an open, light and airy feel. The home is impeccably clean. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to self-cater whilst away - if you can pry yourself away from the lovely local pub! Beds are very comfortable and allow for a lovely night’s sleep. There is a bathroom and a wet room to speed up getting ready on a morning and enable you to shower following a sandy beach day. The hosts left a complimentary bottle of prosecco in the fridge for us, which was lovely, and were easily contactable. Five stars from me! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning. Thank you!

  The bungalow was lovely.

  Very comfortable with everything we needed, including a secure garden for our dog. The owner, who introduced himself to us, was very friendly and helpful. The scenery around the bungalow was magnificent. For us, the beach wasn’t quite as accessible as we thought, but we had lovely walks along the front each day with the dog. Fairbourne is an ideal place for a relaxing holiday, with other villages and towns to explore not too far away. It has a few small shops and two pubs to cater for your needs. A frequent small train runs along the front and another regular train service runs to other towns etc. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The weather let us down a bit, but in was lovely just to relax in the bungalow !!
